    Stefanos and Roula are excellent hosts. The little villa is a lovely spot for relaxation and a good home base for exploring Crete. This was our third stay at St. George's Retreat Village and we LOVE it!

Property info

Go beyond the tourist eye: A collection of nine villas owned by a Cretan couple who are looking forward to welcoming you to this beautiful part of Crete. More than a holiday - St George's Retreat offers you the opportunity to truly experience all that Crete has to offer. Whether that's learning about the Island's history, sampling the food from the best taverns or indulging in the fruits that grow freely in the Retreat, this is a Cretan experience to remember. As you might expect, with villas of this caliber, all are fully equipped to the highest of standards. The Retreat Village is situated high up on the slope of mountain "Drapanokefala", on the outskirts of "Kokkino Chorio" village (Zorba the Greek was filmed here). It has an astonishing view over Souda Bay and the Aegean sea, and this explains the existence of the St' George's Retreat cave built by the German forces during the II WW, which is actually within the grounds of the complex. The property benefits from extensive cultivated gardens, olive trees, a vineyard with its own wine press, and a large number of fruit trees, which the guests are free to taste.
